Rapper DMX is behind bars yet again following an arrest for driving on a suspended licence.

The hip-hop star, real name Earl Simmons, was pulled over by police in Spartanburg, South Carolina on Monday (04Nov13) at a local airport.

A representative for the Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport tells Tmz.com that officers took note of the rapper as soon as he drove into the terminal, as he already has a troublesome track record.

Dmx was charged with driving on a suspended licence and without insurance, and driving an unlicenced vehicle.

It is the fourth time the rapper has been arrested in 2013, including an alleged driving under the influence charge in July (13) and for driving without a licence in February (13).

He is still in custody and is expected to face a judge before he is released.
